As Australian soft drink company Bobby turns one and celebrates the success of three new flavours over the summer months, its range is launching in Coles.

Bobby is a “no-compromise, full-flavoured healthier option soft drink, that tastes just like the classics we know and love with added prebiotics for a healthy gut”, the company said.

Launched by Kristian Johannsen, who had previously worked at Minor Figures and Capi, Bobby is positioned as a, “low-calorie, low-sugar drink perfect for consumers who still want to enjoy a classic refreshing soft drink without all the crap”.   

It launched with four classic flavours – Cola, Orange, Lemon, and Berry – and released three new flavours over summer – Ginger Beer, Passion Fruit, and Creamy Soda.

Coles started ranging Bobby’s Cola and Creamy Soda in mid-April.
